A national study published by CMA member Aine Clements, MD, exploring whether molecular classification can predict outcomes in endometrial cancer patients continues to gain attention.
Dr. Clements, who is a PLA alumni and active member of the CMA Women in Medicine community, is a women’s health physician specializing in gynecological oncology at OhioHealth. She was the lead researcher in the study that was published in Gynecology Oncology last year. It garnered so much interest that it was the second-most-cited paper for the journal in 2025.
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and is one of the only cancers with an increasing incidence and increasing mortality.
This means that understanding this disease is crucial. To personalize treatment, we need to understand the differences between cancers. These differences allow us to use weaknesses in cancer growth patterns to use treatments, such as radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy to target cancer cells. This study suggests that patients with certain tumors may benefit from the addition of radiation to chemotherapy.
"This exciting result is playing an important role in the design of future studies at a national level, and I am so happy to have been able to participate in this work," said Dr. Clements.

The Columbus Medical Association’s Women in Medicine (WiM) Community brought in the new year with a relaxing gathering. The group enjoyed refreshments and candle pouring on February 2 at Vella & Co Candle Studio.
The WiM Community supports local women physicians with regular events that provide them opportunities to connect and to enjoy time that’s intentionally set aside for them.
“We always have a great time, but it’s not only a social club. We are gathering a group that has both shared and unique experiences as women practicing medicine in Columbus today. We lean on one another and we learn from one another,” said chair Dr. Lisa Borkowski.
With more events planned throughout the year, the WiM Community remains committed to fostering support, connection, and renewal for women physicians.

CMA’s Women-in-Medicine group spent their April meet-up discussing the book “Women in White Coats: How the First Women Doctors Changed the World of Medicine.”
Community Chair Lisa Borkowski, MD, said the group had an open and honest dialogue about the uphill climb women have faced in medicine.
“We also discussed some of the challenges women face today in balancing a demanding career and their personal life. I loved our conversation so much and think a book club would be great for the future,” said Dr. Borkowski.
CMA CEO Tracy Davidson was struck by the multi-generational group that gathered and the importance of this community of women to one another.
“One of our newest physicians, a resident, noted how impactful having a supportive group of friends had been to her mental health and well-being during medical school/residency,” said Tracy.
Women-in-Medicine will hold their final meet-up before a summer break on Monday, May 12, with a nature hike at Highbanks Metro Park. Get more information and registered here.
